mentioned character having a bearing there# in for the reception of a-spindle or shank.

Other objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent as the description proceeds, and in order that the same may be better understood, reference is had to the accompanying drawing forming apart of this specification.

In the drawing: Y y

Figure l is an elevation of my bracket, shown applied to the lower corner frame of a childs vehicle, and carrying the vertical shank of the wheel fork, and,

Fig. 2 is a section on the line 2 2` of Fig. l.'

- Referring specificallyk tov the drawing wherein like characters of reference designate like parts throughout, numeral 5 denotes a portion of the lower horizontal bar of the vehicle frame to which a vertical member 6, is connected bymeans of my bracket 7. This bracket 7 comprises a U- shaped portion having inturned horizontal flanges 8 whichv are so formed as to hold the horizontal bar therebetween. Alined v apertures 9 are formed in said bracket 7 to register with a transverseV vertical hole 10, in the bar 5,y and through which the revolving stem 1l, carrying the fork 12, with the wheel 13, may be inserted and retained by means ofa cap-nut 14,1on the threaded upper end of said stem. e

The vertical post 6 is rigldly held in position by means of an integral offset, up-.

wardly extending iangel5, which. is fastened'to the members 5 and 6 by screws 16, or in any other preferred'manner. f

From the foregoing it will be apparentv that the bracket 7 not only serves the purpose of connecting the horizontal member 5,

lsaid U-shapedportion for*V and the verticalfmembr 6., ibut' also .fom-1S; j e

with its apertured flanges 8V and the vhole l0, inthe horizontalmember 5, abearing for the shank l1 of the wheel fork '12.'- The. v

shank- 1l* will be rotatably carried in this bearing and the aperturedvflanges 8V serve- 'l to prevent wabbling orglooseningofxthe shank. and also reinforce the wood joint, relieving the same,v ofthe strain imparted by the fork. Itwill alsobel noted that this stem l1, 'having been-placed in position in its bearing will el'ectually preventL displace? 8 thus relieving all strainfrom the lower'- es ment of the bar 5 from between the flangesy most screw'lG, lexcept perhaps a very limited amount arising through possible. loose.
